Apple/Yahoo's Flashback from 11th Century

Apple/Yahoo's Flashback from 11th Century This is an actual screenshot of an attempt to get a weather report for Tartu, Estonia on my iPhone, using the standard Weather app, powered by Yahoo data. What's the joke? Yes, the city of Tartu used to be called Yuryev at some point. Namely between 1030 and 1061 when Prince of Kiev, Yaroslav I the Wise burnt down the wooden fortification dating back to 7th century and built his own. Just checked, Yahoo! Weather on the web has the up-to-date name. So apparently it takes a tunnel through Apple to get medieval.

Pealkiri ei ole veel kainerist välja saanud.
http://sepp.offline.ee/tavaline/2008/06/pealkiri-ei-ole-veel...Tartu pidamisest Jurjeviks on Sten juba kirjutanud (”Apple/Yahoo’s Flashback from 11th Century“) - lisaks sellele: kodukanti sattudes tuli tahtmine lähemat ilma tsekkida ja arvake ära, kas Rakvere nimeks on Wesenberg või jaa. Ja nüüd arvake ära, mis on Laisholm? Enivei, seoses sellega, et sõbra jubileumil, vahetult enne jaani, sain nii head šaslõkki, et ei tahtnud ketšupitki panna; nii toredat lõket, et ei julenud ülegi hüpata ja nii head viina, et…. seda läks kohe omajagu… siis jätsin jaanipäeva/võidupüha südamerahuga vahele ning puhkasin ka veidi reisist ja muust - lugesin raamatuid ja vahtisin filme ja kokkasin sõpradele natuke. Raamatulugemisaega tahaks rohkem. Palju filme on skännida (ülalolev on ntx. aprillist). PS. Mõne taksi puhul ongi raske öelda, kas ta nüüd kuuletus käsklusele “Istu!” või ütles tal lihtsalt tagasild üles.
